Ski Goggles

Which Colour Goggle Lens Should I Choose?

In broad terms, darker lenses are effective for blocking sunlight as they permit less light to penetrate. Conversely, lenses with lighter hues allow more light in, making them beneficial on overcast, darker days. Beyond colour, each lens is assigned a VLT rating expressed as a percentage (Visual Light Transmission). A lower VLT percentage means reduced light entry, ideal for sunny conditions, while a higher VLT percentage allows more light, which is preferable for cloudy and snowy conditions.

Certain goggles feature interchangeable lenses, enabling you to swap one lens for another to better match the weather. In our range, ski or snowboard goggles may include an additional lens at no extra cost.

Are Ski Goggles Necessary for Children?

Absolutely, children should be equipped with ski goggles for both protection in varied weather conditions and improved visibility while skiing. The lens of junior ski goggles not only filters harmful UV light from the sun but also serves as a barrier against wind and snow. An added benefit is the warmth it provides to your child's face.

There are numerous features in kids’ snow goggles that assist in selecting the right model. Key features to consider include anti-fog technology, OTG (Over The Glasses) for children who wear spectacles, and lenses that can be interchanged. Having an additional lens to swap allows you to adjust for both sunny and snowy days. The best kids’ ski goggles will incorporate many, if not all, of these attributes.

Proper attire for your children is essential for an enjoyable skiing experience. They should wear thermal base layers to ensure warmth. To view our collection, click on Ski Base Layers.
